Placeholder

In text fields ("LineEdits") you can use placeholders which will be replaced by a variable if the content of the text field is read out. Should there be a text field that does not accept these placeholders, please write to support@sweep-me.net

Applications

• Change folder and file name automatically
• Use a global parameter that is used in different modules, e.g. Calc or CustomFunction
• Use a parameter in the SweepEditor to make sweeps from %var1 to -%var1 in steps of %var2 where %var1 and %var2 are predefined variables

Starting from version 1.5.4., individual placeholders can be defined using the Module Formular.
